From the health point of view weare living in a wonderful age.
We are immunized(使免疫)from birth1 many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once illnesses can now be cured. It is almost certain that one day ways will be found for the most2 remainingdiseases.
But3 the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we see the unbelievable deaths of men, women and children on the roads. Man vs the motor-car! Thousands of people in the world are terribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and4 it happen. There is no doubt that the motor-cars often5 a man's worst qualities. They are ill-mannered and aggressive, selfish, stubborn as two-year-olds.
All their6 frustrations, disappointmentsand jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving. The7 thing is that society smiles so kindly on the motorist and seems to8 his behaviour. Cities are allowed to become almost hard to live in because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks.
It is high time a world code(法规) were created to9 this senseless waste of human lives. The laws about driving in some countries are clearly loose(松的), 10 even the strictest are not strict enough. Here are a few examples of some the things that might be done. The driving test should be made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test11 three years or so; the age12 young peopleare allowed to drive should be13 to at least 21. Present drinking and driving laws should be made much stricter. These measures may sound harsh（严厉的）butsurely nothing should be considered as too rude if it14 reducing the loss of human lives.15 ,the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.
